I have had the opportunity to hear, teach, and judge Students of the Guitar Program
students of Patrick Lui at various events around the
country and I have found him to be an outstanding
teacher of young guitarists. His students have consis-
tently excelled in regional, national, and international
competitions. Most recently two of his students
won prizes in the Guitar Foundation of America’s in-
augural youth competition, an event of international
significance. Not only does Patrick provide the
highest quality instruction for his students, he is
equally committed to the personal and emotional
growth of his students. I know of no other teacher
who produces such consistently high results with
such young students.” Since 1995, Lui has dedicated
himself to the education of young guitarists. His 300 S. Spring Street
students have won over 50 prizes in the Columbus Greensboro, NC 27401
